Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing dads and father figures at our YMCA! Thank you for your dedication in keeping families and our community healthy and strong. Fun fact: Father’s Day began at the Y over 114 years ago when a young woman, raised by her single dad, initiated a celebration of fatherhood. The first #FathersDay event took place at the Spokane YMCA on June 19, 1910. 🌟👨👧👦🎉

National Assisted Living Week is an annual event that takes place in the United States during the second week of September. It is a week-long celebration of the individuals who reside in assisted living communities and the staff who provide them with care and support. The theme for this year’s National Assisted Living Week is “Compassion, Community, Caring,” which highlights the importance of promoting kindness and empathy within assisted living communities. During National Assisted Living Week, many communities organize special events and activities to celebrate their residents and staff. These may include live performances, art exhibits, games, and social events. The goal is to create a fun and engaging atmosphere that encourages residents to feel valued and connected to their community. National Assisted Living Week is an excellent opportunity to recognize the important role that assisted living communities play in providing care and support to older adults. It is a chance to celebrate the resilience and strength of these communities and to highlight the many ways in which they enhance the quality of life for their residents. Do you need support with transitioning a loved one or yourself to assisted living?

Charity Founder at Creating Memories, we are passionate about making the wishes of life limiting and terminally ill children come true locally within Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire.
This is simply why we do what we do !!! Memories are all we have and it is so important to be able to create them on a regular basis to keep us going, to remember the good times, enjoy life, be part of joy. When a child is unwell it is not so easy to be able to do that and we are here to help create memories that the whole family can look forward to and treasure always. We take so much in life for granted and it just shows how simple things can create so much joy as these children are living in the moment. So help us to create moments to treasure as it is only by working together that we can make the wishes happen and do this. Let's create moments the child can look back on and remember all the joy and fun had, which in turn can make them feel better if they are having a bad day. Lets make a difference in children's lives. #creatingmemories #localsupportinglocal #localsupport #makingadifferencetogether #bedford #bedfordbusinesses #childrenscharity #localcharitysupport #localcharity #givingback #givingbacktothecommunity #feelgood #givingbackfeelsgood #hertfordshire #hertfordshirebusiness #buckinghamshire #buckinghamshirebusiness #charitycommunity #workingtogether #makingithappen #childrenswish #childrenwithlifelimitingconditions #childrenswishes #helpingchildren #helpingchildrensparkle #helpingchildrenwithspecialneeds

Every interaction can teach you valuable lessons you can carry forward into other areas of your life. Daniel Cakora here again to share some reflections. Vendavo offers 16 hours of annual paid volunteer time to each employee so we can all give back to causes that matter to us. But this is something my family does outside of that. This year I volunteered for the Jackson Chance Foundation, and this one really hit home for me. Jackson Chance Foundation assists families with NICU-bound children by covering parking fees. My son spent a significant amount of time in the NICU, so I know what that’s like. Not having to worry about expensive parking fees during such a trying time was a weight off our shoulders for my wife and me. It gave us the freedom to visit our son, step away to run errands, and come back to spend more time with him – all without additional financial stress layered atop everything else. This cause means so much to us that we set aside money on birthdays and the anniversary of our son’s “come home day” to make contributions. There are little lessons like that everywhere. Openings for solutions that can help make others’ days a little less stressful or a little easier. Opportunities that matter a lot to the people on the other end of the experience. As Benjamin Franklin said, “When you’re good to others, you’re best to yourself.” https://lnkd.in/g547y64Z #vendavo #employeetakeover #jacksonchance #jcf

Please understand this valuable example from new generation
🥀Children have a remarkable capacity to help others, and their actions play a significant role in promoting kindness and compassion within society. Through acts of generosity, empathy, and friendship, children contribute to building a more compassionate world. Whether it's sharing toys with a classmate, comforting a friend who's sad, or participating in community service projects, these actions not only demonstrate their innate sense of humanity but also inspire those around them to follow suit. By engaging in these small yet meaningful gestures, children not only help those in need but also cultivate values that will shape their character and interactions as they grow. 🥀The impact of children's actions extends beyond immediate assistance, as their acts of kindness can ripple through communities and create a positive chain reaction. When children see others helping, they're more likely to be motivated to do the same, fostering a culture of caring and empathy. Additionally, their involvement in charitable activities helps them develop a sense of responsibility, awareness of societal issues, and a deeper understanding of the diverse needs of people around them. As they grow into adults, these experiences can lead to a lifelong commitment to making a difference and contributing to the betterment of humanity. In essence, children's efforts to help others not only directly benefit those they assist but also contribute to shaping a more compassionate and interconnected world for everyone. #HumanityMatters #SpreadKindness #BeTheChange #CompassionInAction #EmpathyMatters #TogetherForGood #MakeADifference #LoveAndServe #CaringCommunities #InspireHumanity #helpinghands #helpingothers
